SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 314,050, date March 17, 1885.

Application filed August 11,1881.

To aZZ whom, it may concern- Be it known that I, DYoNIsIUs OLIVER PAGa citizen of the United States of America, residing atGainesville, in the county of Oooke and State of Texas, have invcuted certain new and useful Improvements in Double Foot Plow-Stocks, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

My invention has relation to improvements in plows; and it consists in the novel construction and arrangement of its parts.

In the accompa-nying drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of my plow-stock with the plow-points attached. Fig. 2 is a top view of beam a, with its ends broken away, and of cross-beam b, showing the position on the beanl a, and the positions it may be made to assume, as seen by the dottecl lines c d. Figs. 3, 4. and 5 are detail views of the same.

My invention is described as follows: On the upper face of an ordinary plow-beam, a, I bolt a cross-beam, b, by a bolt and nut, b', the bolt passing perpendicularly through itscenter and perpendicularl y through said beani a, and near its center. This cross bcam b is braced in position by two braces, c c, one end of the same being pivo'ted on the upper face of the left-hand end of said cross-beam b by bolt or nut, and the other one to the left-hand face of said plow-beam a by a bolt and nut, c', the bolt passing horizontally through holes o2 in said beam a, the other brace, 0, being secured to the right-hand side in a similar inanner. This cross-beain b has in each end a slot, b'l, cut longitudinally and perpendicularly. On the lower face of this cross-beam b are bolted two plow-standards, cl d, by bolts and nuts d' d', the bolt passing through the upper end of the slot on the said standards d d, and through the slots b' in the cross-beam b.

It will be seen that I can move said standards inward near the beam or outward to the ends of crossbeam b by moving the bolts and nuts d' d' along the said slot bg, thus making the standards wider apart or closer together, as I may desire. I can also, by means of braces c c, set the'right-hand plow forward and the left-hand plow back, as seen in Fig. 1, or I may move my braces the right one one hole back and the left one one hole for- (No model.)

Ward, and thus bring the two plow-points on a line, as shown by the dotted lines c in Fig. 2, or I may move my right-hand brace two holes back and left-hand brace two holes forward, and have my left plow-point in the front and the right-hand point in the rear, as shown by dotted lines d in Fg. 2.

My plow-standards d d are made of a solid bar of iron bent double and riveted or welded together at their lower ends, and leavng a slot at both ends-one-to secure the same to cross-beam b, and the other for the plow-point bolt to pass through. In the lower ends of these plow-standards I have V-shaped notches e. l have a' clip, f, having a T-head, the lower face of which is V-shaped and fits into the V- shaped notches e. The front faceis straight for the upper end of the plow-poiutf3 to rest against. This keeps the plow-point from turning. The shank'f' of the said clip passes through the slot in the standard, and its bolthead f 2 bears against the rear face of the heel of the standard d. The V-shaped notches keep the clipf from slipping up the standard.

The clip keeps the plow-point in place, and the bolt passes through the plow-point, thence through slot in standard (Z, then ce through bolt-headfz, and is secured by a nut.

Having described my invention,whatIclain1 as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a doubl'e-footed plow, the combination of the beam provided with transverse holes 02, the cross-bar b, having slots b'z, the pivot-boltb', and the adjustable braces o, independently pivoted to the cross-bar, substantiall y as shown and described, and for the purposes set forth.

2. The slotted standard' d, having on its front face the notches e, and the plow-point, in combination with the clip f, havinga T- head whose lower face is-V-shaped to fit in one of the notches e of the standard, substantially as shown and described, and for the purposes set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my Signature in presence of two witnesses.
